This past weekend I saw Motown: The Musical when I was in New York. Since this Broadway musical was such a great experience (more on that later), I first decided to check out the original Broadway cast recording. I was in for quite a surprise (and not in the best of ways). Then I noticed that there is this compilation, a parallel release that is intended to give a more complete overview of the songs heard in the musical.

"Motown: The Musical - The Classic Songs That Inspired The Broadway Show" (2 CDs; 40 tracks; 133 min.) offers a generous sampling from the 50 or so songs that appear in the Broadway show. Better yet: unlike the Broadway cast recording, these songs are NOT mashed up in medleys but in fact are the originals songs (by the original artists of course). Starting with the Temptations' "Get Ready", the songs on this compilation more or less follow the order in which they appear on the Broadway show (but not always). There are a couple of nice surprises on here, including the Contours' "Do You Love Me', which I didn't realize was a Motown release, but also "Shotgun" by J. Walker and the Allstars (which are featured in the show, but are not included in the Broadway cast recording). Most of the other songs and the tried-and-true Motown classics. And yes, Diana Ross (solo or with the Supremes) gets about 10 songs on here (1/4 of the total), as it reflects the prominent role that Diana Ross plays in the Broadway musical. Bottom line: if you are looking for a souvenir of the Broadway show, you are much better served with this generous 2 CD compilation, as opposed to the 45 min. Broadway cast recording, which in my book does not work well as a stand-alone (without the visuals of the actual Broadway show).

Of course this is a great collection out of the vast Motown catalogue, but I cannot help but note that it is heavily skewed to Diana Ross, with and without, the Supremes, including a few of their tunes of little, to no significance (then or now). Yet somehow, The Four Tops are given little love, with only one song. That is hardly representative of their place in Motown history. The immortal Stevie Wonder inexplicably only gets two songs. At least Smokey literally the Godfather of Motown gets four cuts. But Ross, with and without the Supremes, accounts for eleven out of forty. Of those eleven, a few are certainly marginal choices, while other Supremes classics somehow missed the cut. Surely I cannot be the only one who sees something wrong with this picture. Perhaps it has something to do with the content of the Broadway show, I admit that I am unfamiliar with the show or it's content. Even if that is the case, some of the reviewers are way off base when they refer to this as "all the essentials", or "the best of the best". A great collection sure, but not without it's flaws.

There are so many good songs on this CD that you can't sit still. One of my favorite Four Tops songs is Sugar Pie, Honey Bun, ( I can't help myself). Every time I hear that song, I have to get up and dance. You will also be singing along to every track on the CD.

I recently saw the Musical in NY. I tried to buy the CD at the theater, but they were sold out. I checked Amazon and found it cost less than at the show ! I love the memories listening to this CD trigger.

The Best. I saw the show in SF, and loved it, loved the music. I purchased the Broadway soundtrack at the souvenir stand, but didn't get this CD. I regretted not buying this, but Amazon had it. Loving it. Thank you. Buying it from Amazon, I got the added MP3 addition in our computer to listen as well.
